KEF Q3 MetavsDynaudio Emit 20
The Dynaudio Emit 20 stands 37.0 cm tall — about 1.3 cm more than the KEF Q3 Meta at 35.7 cm. At 87 dB against 86 dB, the KEF Q3 Meta is the easier load to drive and plays louder from the same amplifier. The KEF Q3 Meta reaches deeper in the bass, down to 49 Hz versus 53 Hz. Low frequencies come from a 165 mm cone on the KEF Q3 Meta and a 180 mm cone on the Dynaudio Emit 20. Both land in a similar price bracket, around $1,024 a pair.
